Make your nominations here:

Nominations can be for an individual, group or organisation who has helped or supported you or someone you know, or who has organised an activity or event that has brought the community together. They could be a friend, neighbour, work colleague, community group, voluntary group, small business or big business – as long as they are people, projects, events or businesses based in Telford and Wrekin.

The awards are hosted as part of Telford’s 50th birthday celebrations and Pride in Our Community work. The awards evening will be held at the Telford International Centre on 29 November 2018 – 50 years from the day that Telford was created.

Nominations close on 21 September and will then be shortlisted by a panel of judges at the end of summer before going forward to the finals.
